RFC: Coreboot support of SFI
by Michael Cassaniti 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

Hi All, After seeing a Request For Comments previously in the mailing list, I thought I might add my own. I am curious to know if it worth while for the coreboot project to support the Simple Firmware Interface. A quick Google search should be all you need. I am under the impression that SFI and ACPI could become KConfig style options for coreboot, allowing the end user to choose if SFI or ACPI should be built into coreboot. The only other question remaining is what would be missing to run Linux unhindered on systems using SFI? Having a quick look, I don't see too much missing. SFI seems simple enough to make available to other (non-x86) platforms for new firmware. Let me know what you think. Regards, Michael

I think I see this now. Do, lspci -xxxx and look within device "00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel". Document and post rows c0 & 60. I'll start doing this tomorrow with 3 mix-match DIMMS and yank 3 of my 256M Tyan DIMMS. I'm going to guess, you don't need the sizes and slots documented corresponding to each lspci -xxxx, as you're just going for an average? -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
